Maymester
May 11-29, 2009
One Class. Three Weeks. Focus. Accelerate. Achieve.
Maymester allows you to earn up to 3 credits in three weeks. Maymester is an INTENSIVE session that allows you to take only ONE course (no exceptions are made). More than 130 courses are offered this summer. Many of CU-Boulder’s most popular and sought-after courses are offered in Maymester. Take a course and complete a core or major requirement and still have most of your summer to work, study, travel, relax, or participate in an internship. Students and faculty like focusing on only one course. Classes are smaller and more interactive. A sense of community develops in the classroom. The accelerated pace means that you should plan on studying three to six hours each day outside of class. Because of the intensive nature of Maymester, you should not add a class you have not attended from the first day. Plan on being prepared and attend every class – each class is the equivalent of one week during the regular semester. Material is covered quickly and the longer class periods allow for in-depth discussion.
Students and faculty rate Maymester as an excellent academic experience. Students like concentrating on one class, the sense of community that develops in the classroom, and the opportunity to complete one class in three weeks. Faculty like the longer class times, the intensity and energy that develops in the classroom, and the focused nature of the term. Students should plan on studying three to five hours each day outside of class. Because of the intensive nature of Maymester, you should not add a class you have not attended from the first day. Plan on being prepared and attend every class—each class is the equivalent of one week during the regular semester. Material is covered quickly and the longer class periods allow for in-depth discussion and commentary.
Maymester is Term M in the course listings and is part of summer session. Grades and tuition are included as part of summer session. All Maymester sections are 001 unless noted. For more information, browse this website or call 303-492-5148 or 800-331-2801. Complete course descriptions are available at www.colorado.edu/catalog.
Term Q begins at the same time as Maymester but the classes end at different times. Three classes are available. Computer Programming for EE/ECE Majors (ECEN 1030) and Introduction to Engineering Computing (GEEN 1300) are offered May 11–June 5. Federal Tax Politics (LAWS 6138) is offered May 11–21.
